dSPACE Studio: Warm Modern Residential Architecture in Los Angeles

Bespoke Homes That Support Well-Being, Comfort, and Everyday Life

In the diverse landscape of Los Angeles architecture, dSPACE Studio has a distinct voice, rooted in warm modernism and responsive to how people experience space. The studio’s work integrates contemporary architectural clarity with natural materials, nuanced light, and a strong relationship to landscape, creating homes that feel both refined and quietly restorative.

dSPACE is a luxury residential architecture studio that approaches each custom project as a holistic environment rather than a singular object. Their portfolio spans the United States—from the Hollywood Hills and Pacific Palisades to the Michigan shore and alpine landscapes of Telluride and Beaver Creek.

Across these varied contexts, each home is personalized and site-specific, shaped by a careful calibration of proportion, materiality, light, and multisensory engagement. The result is experiential architecture that supports health and well-being while enhancing daily life.

Architect Magazine once described the studio’s work as architecture grounded in “the synthesis of art, science, and technology, with a strong emphasis on human connection”—a sentiment that continues to shape the firm’s approach today.

Human-Centered Architecture Shaped by Nature and Neuroscience

At the heart of dSPACE Studio’s philosophy is a simple belief: architecture should support how people live, feel, and function each day. Drawing from principles of biophilic design and emerging research in neuroarchitecture, the studio designs homes that foster calm, connection, and a sense of ease—spaces that intuitively align with how the body senses and responds to its environment.

Well-being is integral to dSPACE’s design approach, embedded in the fundamentals of each home. Natural daylight, layered materials, acoustic comfort, and a seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor space are considered from the outset. Homes are carefully oriented to light, landscape, and climate, with spatial sequences that foster focus, restoration, and a sense of connection throughout the day.

This human-centered approach has earned recognition across the design community and in leading publications, including Architectural Digest, Dwell, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. More importantly, it resonates with clients who describe their homes not only as beautiful, but as environments that genuinely enhance well-being and everyday living.

Craft, Collaboration, and an Enduring Sense of Place

Each dSPACE Studio project evolves through close collaboration—with clients, consultants, artisans, and builders. The design process is intentionally site-specific, ensuring that each home feels grounded in its environment rather than imposed upon it.

The studio’s warm modern aesthetic balances sculptural form with livability. Indoor and outdoor spaces flow naturally, light and shadow are composed with intention, and materials are selected for how they age, feel, and engage the senses. As Design Bureau observed, “no detail is too small”—a reflection of the studio’s enduring commitment to craft.

In Los Angeles—where innovation, lifestyle, and environment converge—dSPACE Studio continues to explore how architecture can be both contemporary and timeless, artful and grounded, restorative and inspiring. The result is work that feels not only of its place, but attuned to the people who call it home.

dSPACE Studio’s work has been recognized by leading publications and design platforms, including Forbes, Angeleno Magazine, Architizer, and Modern Luxury West Coast.
